In the rain, the cavalry of the Red Leaf Army suddenly came out, bypassed Hachimanhara Castle and the positions of the Kii people, and headed straight to the south. In heavy rain, the iron cannons were basically powerless, and the Kii people were powerless to stop the Red Leaf Army cavalry from advancing desperately, so they had to hurriedly leave the city and follow them - they were also worried about something going on in Zaga Castle.

In fact, the place where the Red Leaf Army stopped was not far from Zaga City, but the deadly heavy rain and damn epidemic forced the Red Leaf Army to withdraw its troops. However, if the cavalry speeded without any effort, it would only take a short time to reach Zaga City. The Red Leaf Cavalry ran on the mountain road and the official road, leaving the people of Kiyi who were hiking on foot behind.

"Your Highness, what should I do if I get there and I am really luring the enemy?" Xiaoba Jiesheng was a little worried about Yu Qiuping's safety. At the beginning, he advised Yu Qiuping not to act with the cavalry company, but Yu Qiuping refused.

"At worst, I'll rush eastward. Go and find Zhongxiu and Hengxing to join. They shouldn't face many enemies." Yu Qiuping smiled, but was not too nervous. "But I believe that Banbingwei's judgment must have had something wrong with Zaga Castle."

When the Red Leaf Cavalry rode their horses across Kikawa from the bridge and rushed to the bottom of the Saga Castle, there was a fierce battle between the castle and the castle town. Nearly 4O troops under the banner of Seiyubei and Mimaezaki Nakahide were siegeing the city. However, when Yu Qiuhei looked east, there was no Suobeibei or Ikeda Hiroki's follow-up troops on the way. Instead, you could vaguely see the troops of the Kiyi people coming back from the distance - just like the other Kiyi people chasing Yu Qiuhei.

"Is this?" Yu Qiuping couldn't figure out what had been born in an instant. "We are cavalrymen, and we rushed over with the power of the rain iron cannon greatly reduced. This Xiaoliu Bei's hands are all infantry. Did they fly over with wings?"

Yu Qiuping then glanced at the battlefield. Now there are many bamboo rafts parked around Jichuan's river bank. Some have been damaged while rushing to the beach, some have become wreckage hanging on the reef, and some are still leaning on the shore.

"Can it be..." Yu Qiuping looked upwards from Ji Chuan to the east. Where the turbulent water flow was the route of entry originally planned by the Eastern Army. "Is that boy Zhongxiu who took a company and rushed down with a bamboo tray while Ji Chuan was raining because of the rising water, and left the people of Ji Yi? It was really his."

"Help the friendly troops immediately!" Yu Qiuping glanced at the pursuers behind him and immediately ordered the troops to attack. The Red Leaf Cavalry immediately rushed into the city town, cooperated with the front and back attacks of Xi Liubei, and easily defeated the Zaga who was still resisting. Then, they immediately attacked the city gate from all directions. The Zaga people were not equipped with enough personnel to defend all the city gates, and the South Gate was broken first. The Red Leaf Army immediately rushed in and suppressed the resistance of the whole city soon. Yu Qiuping also personally climbed to the Tianshou Pavilion to see the situation in the city.

"The enemy is only less than 20 people in total. It seems that we did not expect that we would bypass their front-line defensive forces and attack Saga Castle." The company commander of the first company of Seiyubei, Kitaki's Ching family, rushed to Tianshou Pavilion shortly afterwards to report the battle to Yu Qiuhei. "As Your Highness guessed, Lord Mimaezaki secretly built a bamboo raft and put it into the river when the water was rising, and rushed down all the way. However, the people of Kii reacted and began to set up obstacles in Kikawari, shooting our army on the bamboo platoon with iron cannon bows. His Highness Ikeda was worried that the casualties were too great, so he stopped moving forward."

"Good guy, there's nothing that Zhong Xiu didn't dare to think about. Last time he swam over from Hamama Lake to shell the Doctor Dashen, this time he rode a bamboo raft and went downstream in front of the enemy." Yu Qiuping sighed while arranging people to retreat.

"Where is Zhongxiu now? Let him come over quickly, we are going to retreat." Yu Qiuping looked down at the city along the window of Tianshou Pavilion, but he could not find Yumaezaki Nakahiro. "We don't have any food at all, and we have a serious epidemic. This battle cannot be fought. Although we have captured the Zaga Castle, we can't defend it even by relying on our 8o people. Please retreat quickly."

"Your Highness, who said there is no food?"

As the people arrived, and after the excited shouts rang out, Mimaezaki Nakahiko immediately jumped in, pulled Yu Qiuping's sleeve and walked out.

"What are you doing, Zhongxiu, where are you going?"

"Take Your Highness to see the food!"

·

Yu Qiuping was inexplicably collected by Omaezaki Nakahide. Another large warehouse in the city was filled with blood at the entrance of the warehouse, and there were several rows of corpses next to it. It seemed that a fierce battle had just exploded. Xi Liu Bei's footmen were guarding around the warehouse, and there were still several prisoners tied up at the entrance of the warehouse.

"This is Suzuki Shigehide." Mimaezaki Nakahide pointed to the strong man covered in blood - the latter had been tied to a Zongzi and was still struggling. "Suzuki Shigehide's son is said to be the third leader of the Zaga community. When we were siege, he was constantly resisting, and his brother had already escaped with people. This guy killed a lot of us, so he was caught by us."

After hearing Mimaezaki Nakashui describe himself and his father in such a contemptuous tone, Shigehide Suzuki seemed even more angry, as if he was about to bite the rope in his mouth, but was immediately pressed down by his two feet.

"You said you were going to take me to see the food..." Yu Qiuping squinted his eyes and looked at the huge warehouse, pointing with his fingers, "Is it referring to this?"

"Yes, it's all about food." Omaezaki Nakahide walked forward with a wicked smile, and opened the door of the warehouse. He saw that it was filled with grain bags. From several open bags, you could see that it was almost all dry food.

"With this food, the army will not worry. Your Highness can immediately ignite the wolf smoke and let the main force return to the city of Zaga. As long as we stand in the city for a while and persist until the main force returns, we can drive away all the Kiyi people who want to counterattack! Then, with this batch of food, it doesn't matter if the supply line is behind. You can transport medicine directly, and the problems will be solved!"

"You are right." Yu Qiuping's eyes flashed with a flash of light when he heard this, and he immediately arranged for someone to do it.

Who would have thought that when Suzuki Shigexiu heard the conversation between the two, she suddenly struggled violently, broke free from the two feet, but fell to the ground again. Because his hands and feet were tied, he could not crawl at all, and could only roll over and roll all the way to Yu Qiuping, which scared Yu Qiuping.

"Woo! Woo!" Suzuki Shigexiu stopped at Yu Qiuping's feet and roared hard, but it was vaguely caused by the ropes that were helping with his mouth, but he still kept shouting. Yu Qiuping guessed that he might be saying something, so he ordered Moriko to loosen the ropes in his mouth.

As soon as Moriko loosened the rope that was stuffed with his mouth, Suzuki Shige immediately poured out dirty words like a mad dog, greeting Yu Qiuping's ancestors for the eighteen generations. Moriko was so angry that he wanted to draw a knife and chop Suzuki Shigeki.

"Kelong, wait." Yu Qiuhei raised his hand to stop Moriko's actions, as if he didn't care about Suzuki's curse. He cursed with his loud voice and said in a quiet but very clear tone: "I don't have much time for you. Apart from swearing, please do whatever you want to say as soon as possible."

Yu Qiupi's words seemed to have an immediate effect. Suzuki Chongxiu, who had just scolded her happily, gradually became weaker. After cursing for a few more words, Suzuki Chongxiu took a deep breath and said with some difficulty: "Please don't take away these foods."

Yu Qiuping could hear it. The "reputation" in this sentence was already very forced for him.

"Why is this?" Yu Qiuhei asked in confusion, but Shigehide Suzuki did not answer, but just lowered his head.

"Don't you answer?" Yu Qiuping asked again tentatively, but still did not get a reply, so he ordered Sen Kelong, "Kelong, go to the top of the city to raise wolf smoke and notify the entire army to attack. There is food here, so there is no need to worry about the food being cut off."

"Wait!" Suzuki Shigeshui became anxious when he heard this and interrupted loudly again, "Don't take these foods!"

"Why?" Yu Qiuping turned to him calmly and asked in a low voice.

"Those foods are poisonous! Eating them will kill people!" Suzuki Shigehide cursed at Yu Qiuhei, "Eating them to death, you Kinki guys who have no descendants! Why should he come to us Ki Isaye!"

"It won't bother you. We will test whether there is poison or not." Yu Qiuping seemed to have guessed the reason, but he didn't say it out loud, but smiled and said, "Kelong, go and light the wolf smoke."

"Wait!" Suzuki Shigexiu said anxiously when he saw this. Yu Qiuping was staring at him with a very calm gaze. He suddenly felt that all the small abacus in his heart had been seen through, and he knew that he would not be able to pass this level without bowing his head. He bit his lips, his face was in a fight between heaven and man, and his body was slightly shaking. After a while, the man who was strong and unyielding took a deep breath several times, made a great determination, and whispered in a nearly begging tone:

"Your Highness of the Ministry of Justice. These foods are the only remaining foods left by Jiyi, and the people's foods are concentrated here. This year's autumn harvest is given by you, and it has been completely destroyed. Without this year's harvest, the people all expect this food to last until next year. If these foods are taken away by you, few people in the country of Jiyi will survive until next year."

"Then why do you gather the food? Isn't this being taken away in one go?" Mimaezaki Nakahide asked with a sneer, "Isn't you just to keep the walls and clear the world, beware of us?"
